Greetings New and Returning Adams Families!

It is my pleasure to welcome all our Adams Tigers to the 2025-26 school year! Our first day of school is August 20th, however, to ensure your child is enrolled and assigned to a classroom, all families must complete the registration process online, and return the necessary emergency card to the front office by August 15, 2025. We also invite you to attend School-Years-Eve on August 19th at 4pm.

Our teachers and staff are excited for the new year, and we all look forward to meeting our new students and welcoming back our returning students. In the year ahead we will work together to provide joyful, meaningful, and challenging experiences for each student, and collaborate with you as families to ensure your student’s success.

Part of our school’s success as a California Distinguished School and Title I National Distinguished school is due to the incredible family support both in and out of the classroom. I hope you consider signing up to lead a committee or volunteering in your child’s classroom at the start of the year. A suggested supply “Wish List” is posted on the school’s website, in case you would like to shop for classroom supply items / donations before school starts. We will kick off the year with our Tiger Love Campaign, which is one of our most important fundraisers, allowing us to offer field trips, student incentives, after-school tutoring and enrichment opportunities, and incredible extra-curricular activities/events for all. There are many ways for families to be involved in and support their student's education, both at school and at home.

This school year will be filled with learning and memorable activities for our students. There are already many special events, educational assemblies, and monthly evening activities on the calendar. We welcome all families to attend as many activities as possible! We hope you will stay informed by reading the Principal’s Thursday Message, checking your child’s Thursday Folder, and reading Parent Square messages. One of the best things about Adams is our community, and how we all come together to support students' learning, their growth as humans, and their joy and wellbeing. I truly appreciate all that our families do to support our school!

I look forward to seeing you bright and early on the first day of school!

Allison Quijano, Principal of Adams Elementary School
